Abstract

Phase-locked loop oscillators that are designed to set the clock rate of electronic circuits based on combinations of logic circuits and to be integrated, at the same time as these electronic circuits, into one and the same chip. There is proposed a phase-locked loop oscillator based purely on combinations of logic circuits so as not to make use of integration techniques different from those used for the electronic circuits based on combinations of logic circuits, for which they are designed to set the clock rate.
